Today, we celebrate the greatest event in history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ! No other victory compares to this moment when Christ triumphed over sin, death, and the grave. This is not just an ancient event; it is the foundation of our faith and the reality of our daily victory!

1. His Resurrection is the Proof of His Divinity

Jesus was not just a great teacher or prophet; He is the Son of the living God. The resurrection validates His claim to be the Messiah. “Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). Because He lives, we can trust in every promise He has made.

1. His Resurrection Secures Our Justification

Without the resurrection, the work of redemption would be incomplete. “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” (Romans 4:25). Because Jesus rose, we are no longer condemned. His resurrection ensures our righteousness before God.

1. His Resurrection Gives Us Power Over Sin and Death

Before Christ rose, sin and death ruled mankind. But by His victory, we have been set free! “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.” (Romans 6:9). The resurrection power now enables us to live in holiness, dominion, and authority.

1. His Resurrection Gives Us Hope of Eternal Life

If Jesus had not risen, our faith would be in vain (1 Corinthians 15:17). But because He lives, we have the hope of eternity. “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). Every believer has the assurance that death is not the end—it is the beginning of eternal glory!

1. His Resurrection Empowers Us for Kingdom Exploits

After the resurrection, the disciples became bold, unstoppable forces for the kingdom. “And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.” (Acts 4:33). The risen Christ empowers us to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and demonstrate His power to the world.

Christ is risen! This means your victory is certain. Every chain is broken. Every sickness is healed. Every setback is turned to triumph! No power in hell can hold you down because the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you!
